Welp I've been drawn for some archery hunts. Big oaks in October Cliffty falls early November and Fort Harrison late November. Anyone have experience hunting those areas?

It works fine for me. Takes you to another thread here that’s 5 pages long talking about the draw hunts.

Big oaks is a crapshoot, but try to get an outside area. Sit closer to the middle of the area in the morning and close to the grassy area by the road in the evening. Look at a plat map and get close to the women’s prison and veterans cemetery when you go to clifty.

Yup. Good luck with that. I’m usually on at 7:59 ringing through……only to get an answer about 200 tries later at 8:45 - 9 Everything good is gone by then. Still can’t figure how that works….been doing it for years

Still can’t figure how that works….been doing it for years I'm with you on that one. Used to hunt it all the time. No matter how early I started, same scenario. I finally gave up and called 2,3 days later. What areas are left. I did get through once at like 3 after and everything was gone. Something seems a bit fishy to me.

You know what. That also happened to me too. The one and o my time I ever hunted area 75 was because my son got drawn for the youth hunt. He was number 001 We chose area 75, was told oh 75 is one of those funny things, either you will see tons of deer or won’t see a spec. Guess which one we got…..

I bet you saw the same deer that I saw when I got to hunt 75. I was drawn and we waited around until the 6 am deadline and the people that had 75 didn’t show up. We changed to 75 and never saw a thing.

Part of the problem with 75 is that there’s no one to push the deer around. Could be great because they’re not harassed, but if they aren’t moving then you just sit and look at trees.

The last two times we hunted 75 we saw zero deer. I shot a nice 10 point many years ago on opening day and it was chasing a doe. Huge oak trees on the south end and scrub trees on the north end. If you hunt it, hun on the far south side close to the open field or in the middle between the s rub trees and huge oaks.
